Seeking Writer to Help Change the Future
Learning Home Volunteers is a small non-profit serving under-served families of children ages 2 -5. We help prepare the child and family for kindergarten. Why? Kindergarten readiness is the #1 indicator of future academic success. Children that start behind normally stay behind though out their schooling. We are committed to ensuring that each child, regardless of the economic situation, gets an equal start at school.
This small change can change a child's future opportunities -- imagine if 40% of low-income children that typically drop out of high school didn't. Or the 50% of low-income children that are typically behind at each grade weren't? How would those difference change their opportunities for college, jobs, and the number of paths for their lives?
So how can you help? We are working on a re-design of our website which needs your talented touch. We need quality content to enhance our user experience and help us communicate effectively about our mission and program. This is a perfect project for writer/blogger to volunteer to support our mission and change the future with us. You will be working on a team who are fun to work with, tech savvy, and motivated. Work on a project that can be showcased in your portfolio and change the future of the children we work with -- all in one project!
Sounds interesting? Let's chat!

Mission Statement
Learning Home Volunteers' mission is to improve educational outcomes for low-income children by transforming their home into a center of learning and their parents into agents of change for their child's educational growth.
Description
20% of the nation's children live in poverty. This effects their educational outcomes. 70% of them enter school unprepared. 50% will read at below grade level throughout their schooling. 30% will eventually drop out of high school. In our community the situation is even worse: 80% enter school unprepared and 73% are reading below grade level at 3rd grade. After 3rd grade, all learning is book based making it difficult to keep up if you can't read well.
Our program works with parents to help them prepare their child for kindergarten. Through training they learn how to support their child's learning through the use of learning materials design, built, and packaged by our experts. We are changing outcomes for under-served communities in San Mateo County. Joins us. Change the future - one child at a time!
